Mollie is a star striker for the mixed Amlwch Town under-11s

An Anglesey schoolgirl will meet her hero David Beckham when she jets out to meet him in Madrid after winning a CBBC competition.

Mollie Dale, aged nine, will pick up football tips from the England captain and Real Madrid superstar, as well as appear with him in a training DVD.

She will be in a group of four boys and four girls, aged between nine and 13, from across the UK who won the competition.

Mollie, who flies to Spain on Friday for the six-day trip, is a football star in her own right.

She is a striker with the mixed Amlwch Town under-11 and Anglesey Football Academy, and last season she netted 40 goals.

Her mother Cathy said Mollie, a Manchester United fan and pupil at Amlwch Primary School, was overwhelmed at the chance of meeting the former darling of Old Trafford.

She said: "Mollie is thrilled about the news - she's been a Man United fan since she was about four years old - and David Beckham is her idol."

Mollie said: "To meet him is fantastic, but to play football with him is even better.

"I want him to tell me how he curls his free-kicks."

To win the competition she had to make a home video showing off her football skills, talk about football and why she wanted to meet the star.

Hotshots

Mollie was then one of 20 young people who was invited to the Football Association's training camp at Bisham Abbey to show more of her footballing ability.

She made the final eight after impressing the likes of former stars Alan Hansen, Peter Schmeichel and Mark Lawrenson from BBC Football Focus and England women's team coach Hope Powell.

The coaching sessions with the star will be filmed for a CBBC programme Beckham's Hotshots due to be broadcast next month.

Mollie will be accompanied on the trip by her father Mark.

Mrs Dale said: "Her dad was the one who really helped her with the entry to the competition, so I don't really have much of a say in the matter."
